Hank Snow Blue Velvet Band Lyrics:
If you listen a story I'll tell you of a girl who
once lived in this land A girl who once was my
sweetheart she was known as the Blue Velvet Band

On her cheeks was the first flush of nature her
beauty it seemed to expand Her hair hung down in
long tresses tied back with a blue velvet band

I can still see those tears as we parted of my
heart broken blue velvet band As I left her I told
her I'll never come back to my home again

Five years in the wide open spaces was all that my
poor heart could stand Every night as I lay on my
pillow I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band [
steel]
Then one night as I lay down dreaming of home and
poor mother and dad Like a flash by my bedside was
standing the form of my Blue Velvet Band

I started next day for my darling just to go back
and make her my bride But as I reached the old
country depot they told me my sweetheart had died

They laid her to rest in the churchyard midst the
sweet summer flowers of the land On her finger was
the ring I had bought her on her head was a blue
velvet band
